Which pals learn Evil Slash

One pal learns Evil Slash by level-up: Xenovader, at level 40, with 125 attack behind it. No fruit teaches it, so that one pal is the whole list.

Evil Slash power and cooldown

Evil Slash hits for 350 on a 16 second cooldown, which is mid-table among Dark moves, where the hardest hitter lands at 800. 16 seconds between casts puts it in the middle of a rotation rather than at the start of one.

Can you teach Evil Slash to any pal

No. Evil Slash has no skill fruit in Palworld 1.0, which is the part most move lists leave out. Xenovader is the only pal that will ever have it, at level 40. Every Dark skill is listed with its own fruit flag.

Can Evil Slash pass to eggs

No. Evil Slash does not survive an egg in Palworld 1.0. A hatchling has to reach level 40 on a learnset that carries it. Breeding for it is wasted cake, so plan around the Dark pals that already have it.

Is Evil Slash worth using

Only until something better unlocks. 350 power is mid-table among Dark moves, and on a 16 second cooldown it is the move you run while you level toward the 800-power end of the element.

Evil Slash FAQ

Which pals learn Evil Slash in Palworld?
Exactly one: Xenovader, which unlocks Evil Slash at level 40. No skill fruit exists for it, so that single learnset is the only place the move appears in Palworld 1.0.
Can you get Evil Slash from a skill fruit?
No. Evil Slash has no skill fruit in Palworld 1.0, so Xenovader is the only pal that will ever have it. No amount of chest farming changes that.
How much damage does Evil Slash do in Palworld?
Evil Slash has 350 power and a 16 second cooldown. Power gets multiplied by the pal's attack stat and the element matchup, so the same move hits far harder on Xenovader at 125 attack than on anything below it.
Is Evil Slash a good skill in Palworld?
As filler. At 350 power on 16 seconds it sits mid-table among Dark moves, and Dark runs to 800, so it holds a slot until something bigger unlocks rather than earning one outright. Off-element it also loses the same-type bonus.
Can Evil Slash be inherited by breeding?
No. Evil Slash does not carry to eggs in Palworld 1.0, so a hatchling never starts with it. Level a learner to 40 instead, and treat the move as something you train rather than something you breed for.
